Increased availability of renewable energy, together with projects for more efficient energy utilization, is a prerequsite for a sustainable energy system. Seabased's generator technology, developed at Uppsala University, now makes it possible to use ocean waves for energy extraction.

One of the great challenges for all wave power technologies is the adaptation of the construction to the extreme forces that occur during storms. Seabased's wave power technology is based on small units with all parts deployed on the seabed except for a buoy on the surface. Thus the power plant is well safeguarded and can withstand the high forces with a minimum of maintenance. Seabased's solution results in a robust and very efficient machine with a high capacity factor, which makes it possible to deliver renewable energy at a reasonable cost. Furthermore, Seabased takes a holistic perspective on wave power, and the focus is as much on the electrical system that interconnects the power plants and connects to the grid, as it is on the individual power plants.
